How long is the opening ceremony - televised?

I actually found the most handy tools for everybody in America no matter what timezone you are in. nbcolympics.com/getlocal/tvlistings.html You enter your Zip Code > Your Cable provide - then choose February 12, the day of the Opening Ceremonies, and it will show you at what hour you can catch the action. Typically the Opening Ceremonies can run between 2-4hrs depending on how much pre and post show you watch.

But the festivities begin at exactly 6pm PST. My local station has it running till midnight! - Either way, be prepared to just sit back and enjoy and don't make any plans for later that evening.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
